Your Guide to the Jaisalmer Desert Safari
Where the Safari Happens
Most Jaisalmer desert safaris run at Sam Sand Dunes, roughly 40 km from the city and the most accessible, well-developed dune site in the Thar Desert. For travellers who want something quieter, we can also arrange the Khuri Sand Dunes further south — a more remote, less crowded stretch of desert with the same golden landscape.
What's Typically Included
Depending on the activity, expect a camel or jeep safari timed for sunset, a Rajasthani folk music and Kalbelia dance performance around a bonfire, and — for overnight guests — a comfortable Swiss tent stay with a buffet dinner and breakfast the next morning.
Best Time to Visit
October to March offers the most comfortable temperatures for camel and jeep safaris, with cool evenings perfect for a desert camp bonfire. Early evening slots are the most popular for golden-hour photography — see our full seasonal guide on the blog for a month-by-month breakdown.
Good to Know
Activities can be combined — many guests pair a sunset camel safari with jeep dune bashing and an overnight desert camp stay in a single visit, then wake up for a peaceful desert sunrise before heading back to Jaisalmer city.
